Hi Martha! Welcome back. Missed you. And missed your beautiful pieces of inspiration. The butterfly link is awesome, but I also like the touch of ribbon and the Unicorne teardrops. Just love those little teardrops!
Your kids are adorable! Hope you all had a wonderful holiday.

This necklace is great….great design…great colors. Very unique, I’m sure your sister-in-law loved it. I’m trying to figure out what stringing technique you used on the beads on either side of the butterfly link. Is that crochet or braiding?

Deb, I ran the cord (not sure what kind of cord it is; I received it through a swap with one of the LB Chickies. THANK YOU, SHANNON!!) through the link and centered it on the cord before doing an overhand knot. I strung the first bead through one end of the cord then used both ends of the cord to do an overhand knot at the end of the bead to secure it. Repeated this for each raku bead on both sides of the link. Used fold over crimps purchased from LB to secure the ends of the cord. I hope this helps. Please convo me if you have further questions.
